No more spreadsheets. Pushit replaces the training spreadsheet you and your coach have been emailing back and forth — build your program however you want, log every set right on your phone, and see your progress in one place instead of a dozen tabs. EASY COACHING, BOTH WAYS Pair with a coach using a simple invite code. They can build and adjust your program remotely and see exactly how training is going, instead of texting screenshots of a spreadsheet back and forth. Coaching multiple people? Manage your whole roster from one place instead of juggling a separate file for each athlete. YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR WAY Build whatever program makes sense for you, no rigid template to fight against. Set rep ranges and target intensities, and let Pushit calculate your working weights automatically using e1RM percentages, earlier-set percentages, or a formula you write yourself. PROGRESS THAT ACTUALLY UPDATES Auto-progression adjusts your loads as training happens, not a static number sitting in a spreadsheet cell. Track your estimated one-rep max (e1RM) as it moves over time. EVERYTHING ELSE A REAL TRAINING LOG NEEDS • Set-by-set logging with a built-in rest timer • Daily soreness and readiness check-ins to track recovery • Attach form-check videos your coach can review • Machine and gym-specific tracking, including your own custom equipment and movements • Progress charts for your training maxes over time Whether you are training yourself or coaching a roster of athletes, Pushit keeps every program, every set, and every rep max in one place, no spreadsheet required.
